The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Dinh Quy Nguyen, a Vietnamese national and convicted criminal, who was previously allowed to remain in the U.S. due to a prior agreement with Vietnam. Nguyen, who was convicted of attempted murder of a police officer in 1989, was taken into ICE custody in 2011 but was released because of limitations on repatriation for Vietnamese citizens who entered the U.S. before July 12, 1995. These limitations were eliminated under the Trump administration, enabling ICE to remove Nguyen from the country.
